The “best” time to buy a home in 2026 may be almost here, at least from a national seasonal perspective.

According to Realtor.com research cited in the blog, the week of September 27 through October 3 is expected to offer a strong combination of more inventory, less competition, and prices that have eased from their seasonal highs. Nationally, buyers during this period may see roughly 30% less competition, homes staying on the market about 13 days longer, and prices around $14,000 below the summer peak.

But here’s the important local note: local supply and demand may be very different from the national average.

In the Mid-Peninsula, especially Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton, and Los Altos, we often continue to see limited housing supply and very strong buyer demand. Well-positioned homes can still attract multiple offers and sell above asking. So while fall may offer seasonal advantages nationally, the best buying window here depends on the specific neighborhood, price range, property type, and current competition.

POLL (comment A/B/C/D): What would make this fall feel like the right time to buy?
A) More homes to choose from
B) Less competition
C) Better pricing
D) Lower mortgage rates

Want the full blog summary + a local fall buying strategy?
DM me FALL BUYER and I’ll send it. And please SHARE this with someone hoping to buy before the end of 2026.

Data centers are moving closer to homes, and buyers and homeowners are starting to ask: What does that mean for property values, utility costs, and daily life?

The answer is nuanced. A nearby data center does not automatically mean home values will rise or fall. Research cited in the blog shows home values in data center ZIP codes have generally tracked similar communities without major gains or losses. But the details still matter.

Things to consider:
• How close the facility is to nearby homes
• Potential noise, construction, and visual impact
• Whether utility costs could be affected

And here’s the important local note: local supply and demand may be very different from the national average. In the Mid-Peninsula, especially Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton, and Los Altos, we still have limited housing supply and very strong buyer demand. That can cause well-positioned homes to sell quickly and sometimes above asking. So while national data center trends are useful, your strategy should always be based on local inventory, buyer activity, zoning, nearby development, and neighborhood-level pricing.

Want the full blog summary + a local “what to check nearby” buyer/seller checklist?

DM me DATA CENTER and I’ll send it. And please SHARE this with someone buying or selling near new development.

For some buyers, the old home search was built around one question: “How close can I be to the office?”

Now, if you work remotely or only commute a few days a week, you may be able to widen the search and find:
• More home for your budget
• A better layout for daily life
• More outdoor space
• A quieter neighborhood
• A shorter commute on the days you actually go in
• Better long-term fit for how you live and work now

But here’s the important local note: local supply and demand may be very different from the national average.

In the Mid-Peninsula, especially Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton, and Los Altos, we still have limited housing supply and very strong buyer demand. That can cause well-positioned homes to sell quickly and sometimes above asking. So while remote work may open more options nationally, your buying strategy should still be based on local inventory, buyer activity, commute needs, school priorities, and neighborhood-level pricing.

POLL (comment A/B/C/D): Would remote work change where you buy?
A) Yes, I’d move farther out for more space
B) Maybe, but schools/location still matter most
C) No, I still need to stay close
D) I’m not sure, I want to compare options

Want the full blog summary + a “widen your search wisely” checklist?
DM me REMOTE WORK and I’ll send it. And please SHARE this with someone trying to make their homebuying budget work.
